Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine whether EYYDM and myofascial applications have short and long-term effects on pain and disability in individuals diagnosed with chronic neck pain.
Neck pain frequently present comorbidities in peridiaphragmatic organs. The innervation of these organs include the phrenic nerve. It is known that peridiaphragmatic organs trigger referred pain in the neck area. As well, previous studies have shown that visceral disorders increase sensitization in somatic tissues. This study aims to analyze the ability of phrenic nerve infiltration to diminish sensitization and improve neck symptoms in the absence of neurological, traumatic or infectious pathology that justifies the pain, by means of a randomized controlled trial.
The study was conducted to determine the effects of respiratory muscle training on pulmonary function and musculoskeletal parameters in patients with chronic neck pain. It included 43 patients, 20-40 years old males and females having non-specific chronic neck pain for more than three months and with low maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) values were included. Control group (n=21) received conventional physiotherapy with diaphragmatic breathing exercises and experimental group (n=23) received conventional physiotherapy with specially designed respiratory exercise protocol. It concluded that RMT in addition to conventional physiotherapy is effective to improve musculoskeletal and pulmonary parameters in CNP patients.
The aim of this study is to characterize the distribution of pain phenotypes in people with chronic neck pain and to determine the effects of pain phenotypes on pain severity, functional status and quality of life. Participants will be examined to determine the type of pain and questions will be asked to assess pain severity and impact.
This investigation aims to investigate the effectiveness of Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) on neck pain, cervical range of motion, pressure pain threshold and quality of life in patients with nonspecific chronic neck pain compared to cervical therapeutic exercises.
Neck pain has a global prevalence of 30%, being the fourth leading cause of disability among general population and is more prevalent among females than males, as per concluded by evidence. It is undoubtedly the need of time, to address its proper treatment and to hinder its recurrence amongst the general population. The current physical therapy management of neck pain is more focused towards achieving the short term goals for the patient rather than addressing and amending the actual cause of its relapse. Manual Myofascial Release is one of the very effective treatment used to release soft tissue and fascial adhesions over the myofascia inorder to relieve chronic neck pain. The study aims to compare this manual treatment against Instrument Assisted soft tissue mobilization in order to determine which of the two provides improved outcome in terms of pain, neck disability and cervical Range of motion.
The goal of this study is to identify and develop multiparametric quantitative ultrasound imaging (QUI) biomarkers for assessing upper trapezius muscle with and without chronic neck pain and their response to treatment. This goal will be achieved by testing the underlying hypothesis that abnormal muscle tissue can be identified based on its physio-mechanical properties, and that changes in these properties can be used to guide and monitor treatment progress. Preliminary results have shown that biomarkers including muscle B-mode ultrasound echo-intensity, shear wave velocity, and longitudinal strain ratios associated with muscle tissue structure, mechanics, and function significantly differ between muscles in low back pain and neuromuscular disorders and normal muscles. This study will determine which biomarkers are best suited to differentiate abnormal muscle in chronic neck pain from healthy muscles and develop a quantitative objective program for chronic neck pain management.
The study which includes 52 participants suffering from chronic neck pain, determines additional effects of dental bite pads on neck pain and function when performing a 3-month gymnastics programme.
It has been estimated that between 50% and 85% of the population will suffer neck pain along their life. Chronic nonspecific neck pain is one of the main causes of disability in the population, it represents 25% of visits to physiotherapy, and it also has a high chance of chronification. The efficacy of combining manual therapy and therapeutic exercise for the treatment of this pathology has been demonstrated a lot of times. However, no conclusive studies have been found that compare the isolated application of both treatments, thus being an important focus of action and research. The main objective of the study is to check if the treatment with therapeutic exercise is better than manual therapy in the improvement of the disability in patients with chronic neck pain. A randomized, controlled, monocentric, parallel and single-blind clinical trial will be carried out. The simple will be obtained from the population over 18 years old with chronic neck pain of more than 12 weeks of evolution and will be those who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients will be randomly divided into 2 intervention groups, in one of the groups will be applied a manual therapy session of about 30 minutes once a week for 4 weeks. In the other group it will be delivered and explained to the patients, a home therapeutic exercise program that will be carried out on alternate days for 4 weeks.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of clinical pilates exercises and electrotherapy on pain level, physical condition, functional status and psychosocial status in patients with chronic neck pain.In the study, individuals will be divided into two groups. Pilates will be applied to one group for 6 weeks, pilates and conventional therapy will be applied to one group. Individuals will be evaluated before and after treatment. In the evaluation, pain, disability, anxiety and depression status, quality of life of individuals will be questioned. In addition, cervical joint range of motion and endurance will be evaluated.
